Answer:

x = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

sec²x + 4secx = -4

Rearranging gives;

sec²x + 4secx + 4 = 0

Factorizing the left hand side gives;

(sec x + 2)(sec x + 2) = 0

This means that;

(sec x + 2) = 0

From trigonometry, we know that sec x = 1/cos x

Thus;

(1/cos x) + 2 = 0

1/cos x = -2

cos x = -1/2

cos x = -0.5

x = cos^(-1) -0.5

x = 120°

The number of employees for a certain company has been decreasing each year by 3%. If the company currently has 810 employees an

8090 [49]

Answer:

219 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

3% of decreasing rate of employees per year is calculated thus:

$3\% \: of \: 810 \: employees$

$= \frac{3}{100} \times 810$

$= 24.3 \: employees \: per \: year$

In 9 years,

$= 24.3 \times 9$

$= 218.7 = 219 \: employees$

Therefore, the number of employees for a certain company where decreasing rate of employees is 3% and continued to decrease for 9 years; and 810 employees are currently working is 219 employees. By implication, 810 + 219 = 1029 employees were working in the company 9 years ago.
